Well, it looks like nobody wished for a functioning 40m band this Christmas. Local band conditions were noisy with relatively few stations heard.

40m checkins

  • VK2WPJ Peter
  • VK2EAH Andrew
  • VK2SKY Richard
  • VK2NRA Richard
  • VK2CAR/QRP Carmel
  • VK4MQ Bruce came in late at 0930 for a QSO with VK2EAH

2m repeater checkins

  • VK2MZZ Jeff
  • VK2LEO Leo
  • VK2BDF Phil

Via the reflector:

  • VK2BYN Russell, lamenting the noisy local conditions on 40m, but noted that the band was open to the north, allowing a contact with Bruce VK4MQ.
  • VK2PN Patrick (in Sydney, away from his radio shack up north)
  • VK2DF David, who is working today
  • VK2UCT Michael, who is stuck near high voltage power lines and S9+ QRM
  • VK2ID Ian
  • VK2TGO Geoff
  • VK2FGWP Grant
